The latest Humble Bundle book bundles are all about history and heresy

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, for those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. The latest two book offerings from Humble Bundle complement each other to a tee.

As always the bundles have their various tiers, so let’s get right into it. For the princely sum of $1 you’ll receive the following five pieces of non-fiction compiled from the news vaults of the Associated Press:

Muhammed Ali: Athlete of the Century

Apollo 11: How America Won the Race to the Moon Alice

The Torch Is Passed: The Death of President John F. Kennedy

The Warren Report: The Official Report on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

The Hubble Space Telescope: A Universe of New Discovery

Pony up $8 and you’ll receive a further eight titles covering the following:

Bob Dylan: Private Man, Music Legend

The Boston Marathon Bombing: The Long Run from Terror to Renewal

Katrina: 10 Years Under Water

Fishermen Slaves: Human Trafficking and the Seafood We Eat

My Time with the Kings: A Reporter’s Recollections of Martin, Coretta and The Civil Rights Movement

Saigon Has Fallen: A Wartime Recollection

World War II: Unforgettable Stories and Photographs by Correspondents of The Associated Press

Boko Haram: Deadly Terrorism in Nigeria

The final tier will set you back $15 and includes the following six titles in addition to those above:

That’s a pretty diverse array of subjects for the history buffs among us, some of which are quite topical.

Following in the footsteps of history is The Horus Heresy Bundle presented by Black Library. It chronicles the events around the darkest day in the Imperium of Man’s history – when the Emperor’s favourite son, the Warmaster Horus, was corrupted by the forces of Chaos and rose in rebellion against his father which precipitated over 10,000 years of war.

Why couldn’t he have done something simple, like fire a finance minister after believing an intelligence report (because that’s what they’re called, not necessarily what they include) that looks like it should be written in crayon?

Anyway, again for $1 you’ll receive the following:

The Horus Heresy Book 1: Horus Rising – Dan Abnett

The Horus Heresy Book 2: False Gods – Graham McNeill

The Horus Heresy Book 3: Galaxy in Flames – Ben Counter

The Horus Heresy Book 4: The Flight of the Eisenstein – James Swallow

The Horus Heresy Book 5: Fulgrim – Graham McNeill

Garro: Oath of Moment Audiobook

Black Library Sampler

Talisman: The Horus Heresy Prospero Expansion DLC

The last item on the above list you require a copy of the ‘Talisman: The Horus Heresy’ game. For the price of one fire pool, or $8, you’ll receive the following in addition to the above:

The $15 third tier will net you the whole enchNkandla, and includes the following in addition to all the above:

The Horus Heresy Book 11: Fallen Angels – Mike Lee

The Horus Heresy Book 12: A Thousand Suns – Graham McNeill

The Horus Heresy Book 13: Nemesis – James Swallow

The Horus Heresy Book 14: The First Heretic – Aaron Dembski-Bowden

The Horus Heresy Book 15: Prospero Burns – Dan Abnett

Garro: Legion of One audiobook

Macragge’s Honour graphic novel

The Emperor’s Will art book

Warhammer 40,000: Will of Iron #1

75% discount coupon for The Battle of Tallarn on Steam

33% discount coupon for Battlefleet: Gothic Armada on Steam

That’s a hell of a lot of bang for your buck, and it barely scratches the surface of the Horus Heresy novels of which 41 are already published. I’ve read a number of the Horus Heresy novels and if you’re a fan of the Warhammer 40k universe, or dark sci-fi action in general, I can highly recommend them.

So there we have it – history and heresy. Do any of these tickle your fancy?
